# Duplicating Templates

# **Duplicating Templates**

The Duplicate Template feature in uAuditor allows you to create a copy of an existing inspection template so it can be reused and modified without affecting the original version.

Duplicating templates helps organizations scale inspections faster while maintaining consistency across operational processes.

## **Why Duplicate an Inspection Template**

Duplicating templates is useful when you want to:

- reuse an existing checklist structure
- adapt a template for another branch or department
- create variations of the same inspection workflow
- test improvements without changing the original template
- standardize inspections across multiple teams

This reduces setup time and preserves template consistency.

## **When to Duplicate a Template**

You should duplicate a template when:

- creating location-specific inspection versions
- adjusting templates for different roles or inspectors
- modifying scoring logic for a new workflow
- adding additional compliance requirements
- testing updates before rollout

Duplicating ensures the original template remains unchanged.

## **How to Duplicate an Inspection Template**

To duplicate an existing template:

1. Open the Templates module
2. Locate the template you want to copy
3. Click the Duplicate option
4. Enter a new template name
5. Save the duplicated template

The copied template becomes available immediately for editing.

## **What Happens After Duplicating a Template**

When a template is duplicated:

- a separate editable copy is created
- the original template remains unchanged
- sections and questions are copied بالكامل
- scoring settings are preserved
- evidence requirements remain configured
- automatic actions (if configured) are copied

This allows safe customization without affecting active inspections.

## **Editing a Duplicated Template**

After duplication, you can modify:

- template name
- inspection sections
- checklist questions
- response types
- scoring configuration
- required evidence settings 📷
- automatic action triggers

This helps tailor the template to specific operational needs.

## **Using Duplicated Templates Across Locations**

Duplicated templates are especially helpful when:

- deploying inspections across multiple branches
- adapting templates for different regions
- customizing workflows per department
- supporting franchise-level inspection variations

This supports scalable inspection standardization.

## **Best Practices for Duplicating Templates**

To manage duplicated templates effectively:

- rename duplicated templates clearly
- indicate the location or department in the title
- review scoring rules before deployment
- test duplicated templates before scheduling inspections
- archive unused template versions when no longer needed

Duplicating templates allows organizations to expand inspection coverage efficiently while maintaining structured and consistent operational monitoring.
